Whether you know it or not, for every application that access your internet connection or network in some way, uses some type of network port. Some examples include port 80(http/web) or port 443(https/ssl), which you use regularly with your everyday PC. Along with that includes many applications that access various other ports that you may not know about. And in order to serious these various used ports, you typically need some type of application to monitor it.

I am a long time techaholic, blogger and IT administrator living in the Midwestern United States. I have been associated with computers and technology almost my entire life. The obsession started when I first set my eyes on one of the Atari Entertainment Systems and hasn't stopped since. My Dad paid $3000+ for a state of the art PC back in the day, and I have been on one almost my entire life since. It's truly an addiction that I will never give up. Along with my Tech addiction, I also enjoy scouring blogs and the web for anything that may be interesting to write about. My posts are displayed here at TheWindowsFix, MakeUseOf and ConnectedInternet.
